AVS
Today

The 1971 war with India and the subsequent separation
of East Pakistan caused major losses to companies
with business interest in the eastern wing. AVS,
too, suffered a setback, in terms of loss of revenues
from the shipyard as well as loss of a growing market.
The The company, however, proved to be resilient
and began to recover rapidly.

During
the 70s, power plant generation plants of
KESC and WAPDA. Industries that came up during this
period (rice processing, sugar, fertilizer and chemicals)
were equipped with AVS supplied products.

With macro economic policies geared favourably towards
privatization,

liberalisation
of imports and decentralization AVS’s share
in the private sector grew. To cater to competitive
market forces and consistently improve responses
to customers, AVS reorganized its businesses and
set up semiautonomous divisions carrying total responsibility
for specific businesses. The central AVS management
has retained a synergistic role, to ensure that
common resources are shared appropriately, organization
goals are clear and strategic business decisions
are taken and implemented.
The company is staffed by over 100 persons of whom
about 60% are experienced engineers or technicians.
Various software systems are in use extensively
for accounts, finance and sales, thereby allowing
a faster response time and easier information retrieval.
People retention is high as company policies are
designed around goal achievement, work satisfaction
and an encouraging environment. more
